AI Transformation: A Business Imperative, Not Just a Technology Shift

Why Organizations Must Embrace Whole-of-Business Transformation to Unlock AI’s Full Potential?

The evolution of AI is unfolding in overlapping waves—moving from predictive AI to generative AI and now toward agentic AI, a new paradigm where AI agents can act autonomously, make decisions, and continuously learn with minimal human intervention. As technological advancements continue to accelerate, Frost & Sullivan has identified major business-centric emerging megatrends based on industry analyses.

AI Transformation: A Business Imperative, Not Just a Technology Shift

Business Success Demands Strong Project Management: Leveraging AI, Zoho’s New Project Plus Provides Strong Benefits

The Project Management Institute estimates that for every $1 billion spent, companies waste $122 million – or ~12% – on poor project management. They also report that as of 2021, ~35% of project failures resulted in lost revenue, and an additional 34% of projects experienced scope creep. In today’s fast-paced business environment, managing projects efficiently and minimizing resource waste is crucial for success.

Continuing the Journey to Unlock the ROI of AI Transformation

Advancements in AI research and applications unfold in overlapping waves:

  • Predictive AI: Early AI systems focused on data analysis and forecasting, providing businesses with insights into trends and patterns to drive informed decision-making.
  • Generative AI: The next wave of AI introduced content creation capabilities, enabling automation in design, text generation, and even software development.
  • Agentic AI: The frontier we are now approaching involves AI systems with autonomous reasoning and multi-step problem-solving abilities, enhancing complex workflows and decision-making processes.

Optimizing the Balance of Virtual and Live Agents with Webex CX Solution

For over a decade, the number of agents and average call handling times grew year over year.  This is about to change. AI has evolved significantly over the past few years, making self-service voice and digital channels as good as or better than a live agent. According to Frost & Sullivan’s latest CX customer survey, almost half the respondents deployed conversational AI to some degree, while another 37% plan to invest in the solution over the next two years. Aside from the fact that bots do not call in sick, AI agents can handle more complex queries and are beginning to sound increasingly human-like.
